When I take a picture the photo is Blurred - Samsung TL100 Digital Camera

If you are convinced you did not switch the camera to manual settings, and the blur stays, please contact the nearest Canon certified service centre close to you. But before check the settings on the camera and start putting it on automatic.

Have you checked to be sure that -

• you've designated the paper type as one of the photo type papers?
• you've designated the print quality as either Normal or Best (NOT Draft or Quick or similar low-quality print)?
• you're using one of the photo-type papers?
• none of the ink cartridges is low on ink?

Make sure that you have short enough exposure. I have taken steady shots with 1/8s and with some support (wall, table or similar) even 1/2s. Normally slower than 1/30s makes pictures blurred.
When shooting, don't **** the camera, but squeeze the trigger - your shots will improve. Trust me.

"...even though the screen is clear"...?

The screen is a tiny view of the picture and you cannot see all the details of the shot that way. The only way to be sure is to zoom in on the details when viewing the photo on the screen.

if you are shooting in manual mode or with aperture or shutter priority, be sure your shutter speed is fast enough to avoid blur. hand-held shots are typically safe at 1/250 or faster.

When operating any digital camera, the camera tries to capture the best focus and exposure for that particular scene. By pressing the shutter button half-way down, the focus and exposure is being set. There will be a green circle on the upper left hand corner of the screen, then your camera is ready to take the picture. Slowly depress the shutter the rest of the way down to take the picture.

basically, dont use a video camera for still photos. All it does is freeze the frame when you "take the picture". This means any photots will be blurred. I am afraid your xmas pics are likely not repearable wothout a lot of time in photoshop.
Next year, ask for a still camera!

You MUST be perfectly still to get a good picture. Even the slightest move will blur the image.
